Seen A red ss on my street. in Apple valley

 

anyone wanna help/learn how to do a supercharger install tomorrow? i'm basically just putting everything back on but i know a couple of you are looking at doing it in the future i'm sure.

 

what time are you doing it?

 

i started this morning but quit because i was test fitting a bolt for the starter and it fell into the bell housing. i have to take the engine out of the car again. i give up.

 

bummer man! at least by the end of this you are going to be a pro at taking apart and putting it back together.. ha

 

if anyone has a truck, a lift and some spare time, feel free to come over haha

 

who's got a red SS with rims in eagan? me and my roommate just gave a thumbs up in a versa lol

 

If I was free I would totally be interested in helping/learning about the supercharger install. I work weekdays, and I'm going to a convention this weekend oh well.

Another thing I was wondering is whether it makes more sense to sell my 2.4 and buy an SS/TC cause it has a good suspension and traction control or if it's smarter to just keep my car and turbo/supercharge it since I know it's been treated pretty well.

 

2.4 can handle a lot of power. Boost it.

 

omgggggggg........................




my sympathy to you in this heat good sir






side note: you cant get one of those flexible magnet headed things in the hole to retrieve it I'm assuming?

 

I tried the magnet thing, broke 2 of them. Tried unmounting engine and tranny to pull apart just a bit, couldnt find the bolt. If anyone is free tomorrow from 6 pm to whenever and could help me take the engine out enough to get in the bellhousing, ill love you forever and buy you a beer when finished...

 

No takers?

 

Anybody here work at a chevy dealer?

 

I would love to help if i had any free time.

 

ok i got the bolt out and i ended up finding the actual starter bolts after finding said bolt... go figure... i'm gonna start working on it tomorrow if anyone wants to help i guess

 

I would if i wasnt working

 

Well thought I was going to lose 2nd gear, turns out 3rd decided to go today. Grinds like hell trying to get it into 2nd, so im pretty sure its next.

 

I beasted today

 

Is this not uncommon? My 2nd gear just decided to stop working the other day, I'm assuming the synchros are shot. I can down shift into it, but the second I give any gas while in gear, it just pops right out into neutral.

 

I just got power slot rotors and new brake pads. Hopefully with a little brake quiet these won't squeal like the stock ones did. Also my rotors were badly warped.

I'm going to save up a little money before boosting the car. Leaning towards the ZZP stage 2 turbo at the moment.

Do I need boost gauges? Since my car is a 2.4 it doesn't come with any spots for gauges, but I suppose I could get a new pillar. If the gauges are important, what pillar and gauges do you recommend?

 

yes you need boost guage. get zzp's triple pillar..

you will absolutely need boost and wideband gauges. i would suggest maybe an interceptor if you have the money. gauges are VERY important, don't try to budget build.

 

Depends. Do you have time and money to **** with the car almost daily? If so sc or turbo a non FI car. If you don't then get a pre FI'd car and just don't deal with that ****. Look how much **** these guys in the mn thread alone go through...ugh I just do not have the free time. I like the FI car out of the box ready to go. Mods if I want to....but all up to you. Pay initial cost of money or pay down the road in time and money

 

my 2nd gear just grinds into gear but it stays in gear. 3rd is my problem, it came outa nowhere, I was expecting 2nd to go first but I was wrong. I litterally have to force the shifter forward into 3rd and somtimes it doesnt even grab. But if it grabs the gear i can do a full boost pull in it, but when I let off it pops rite back out. Oh well I dont care its just a car.

Im picking up my next project tomorrow its a 96 cummins 2wd, clean as it can be, a 92 year old guy had it before me. Im going to just drive it for now and replace the trani for a ATS and bump the power up with the stock turbo and injectors. Then winter comes around its game on. Cant wait!

 

Car lives! But runs lean so I can't drive it

 

Nice work man, getting close eh.

also, who has a white SS around Eagan? saw someone going east on cliff near pilot knob. looked slick
